TYPE AND COMPANY OWNERSHIP:
The purposed business is a sole proprietorship and thus has unlimited liability to the proprietor. It is owned and managed by Ms. Rabia Asif, who has 2 years of experience in restaurant business.
NAME AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS:
The name of the purposed company is going to be Kofe Lounge. This name has been carefully selected, because the name reflects what kind of a business is being launched into the market. And as the name 'Kofe Lounge' suggests that it is going to be a coffee shop business.
Coffee is a huge business. In fact, coffee is the second most valuable commodity after oil. Fresh and delicious; Kofe lounge doesn't only have the best coffee and espresso beverages available, but also a delightful line of fresh food products. We're passionate about our coffee and the beverages we are going to serve
COMPANY OVERVIEW:

The Kofe lounge's financial picture is quite promising. Since KL is operating a cash business, the initial cost is significantly less than many start-ups these days. The process is labor intensive and KL recognizes that a higher level of talent is required. The financial investment in its employees will be one of the greatest differentiators between it and KL's competition.
